"The ancient emperors ruled the world, and all China lived in the interior to control Yidi. Yi Di lived outside to serve China. I have not heard of Yi Di living in China and ruling the world...... To this cloth, because of the merit of the land, the lead of the floating sea, living in the North Sea shape of the island of victory, now has been the year. So he was inspired to overcome obstacles and expand the foundation of civilization...... For example, Yingzhou in Haidong and Ainu in the north, although they are not of the Chinese race. but between heaven and earth. There is the ability to know etiquette and righteousness. for the subject. It is no different from the raising of people in China. ”

According to the regulations of the imperial court, Liang En read aloud the "Great Song Naturalization Law" promulgated by the imperial court 20 years ago before the commendation meeting, and then began today's commendation ceremony.

"——Yataro, who joined the army for eight months, participated in the attack on the north shore of Yingzhou, the blocking battle north of Yoshino, killed three samurai, rescued two comrades-in-arms, passed the Chinese primary exam, and was recognized by the ancestral gods in the three altars, and is now granted overseas citizenship of the Great Song Dynasty and his minor children, and the right to dividends from the farm."

"Thank you, Bachelor!" A man who looked less than 1.6 meters was so excited that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Liang En according to the old etiquette, but fortunately, the comrade-in-arms next to him pulled him so that he didn't make a fool of himself.

After making a gesture to Liang En on the stage, he came to the side to prepare to register his household registration. It was a pre-prepared platform, where several officials were waiting to make their papers.

This is a decision made by Da Song in order to facilitate management, and each citizen who settles down will have a copy of his own certificate, which will write his name, gender, date of birth and other information, and Liang En will move in directly.

Although there is still a slight difference between overseas citizens and real citizens, such as overseas citizens cannot buy real estate in their homeland, and they are not allowed to obtain official positions from the third rank and above, most of the rights and obligations are the same.

More importantly, when the grandchildren of overseas citizens are able to meet their Chinese language proficiency and be recognized as sacrifices to the Three Sages, they can directly become official citizens.

"Mi, my surname will be Mi in the future, my name is Mi Xiaozhong." Yataro, no, it should be called Mi Takashi to excitedly say the name he had asked his Chinese teacher to the clerk.

"Okay, Mi Xiaozhong, that's a good name." The registrar nodded, "What about the place of origin?" You can write about your place of birth, or you can write about your place of residence. ”

"The third farm next to Beihai City." Mi Xiaozhong said without hesitation, now that he has obtained a Celestial Empire identity, he naturally has to cut off those unseemly things in Yingzhou in the past.

Soon, a small steel cylinder containing the document was handed to Mi Xiaozhong, who carefully hung it on his waist and returned to the group.

More than 170 people were honored this time, and more than 30 of them were original natives, who were granted citizenship because of their merits and language.

After the ceremony, all but a small number of standing soldiers returned to their quarters, while Mi Hyo-chung returned to his village after buying a saber and some daily necessities at the market.

"Yataro, have you made a fortune?" Mi Xiaozhong, who was watching, was carrying a large pile of things, and several farmers joked to him, but they soon found the knife at his waist.

According to the decree, the Chinese and the Ainu were able to possess all the weapons permitted by law, but those other than that could only possess some weakened versions of their weapons.

In the case of swords, both the Huaxia and the Ainu could hold ordinary knives, but unless they received military training, they could only possess weakened versions of weapons such as wakasha or daggers.

"Don't call me Yataro, I'm already Chinese now, my name is Mi Xiaozhong, I have my own family name, and at the same time I can have real weapons that only Han people can have, such as this knife on my waist-"

As Mi Xiaozhong entered the village, the village was completely boiling, and everyone didn't expect that an ordinary person beside them could actually get the privilege of carrying a knife in Miao characters.

For this group of Yingzhou farmers, explaining to them what citizenship rights would obviously confuse them, and in their eyes, the change of Mi Xiaozhong was that he was promoted from a farmer in the past to a samurai master.

"The bachelor said, this is a reward for my previous exploits." Mi Xiaozhong handed the things on his body to his wife and children, and continued. "The lord's rewards and punishments are clear, and naturally we will not forget our merits."

"yes, he's done everything he promised us." "He is indeed a strong, wise, and merciful lord." "It's 100 times, 1,000 times better than before."

The villagers raved about Liang and talked about their past and present lives, and as they spoke, the conversation quickly turned to the upcoming battle against autumn.

Because their villages are in the interior of the de facto control zone, the chances of being attacked by the enemy are not great, and the only risk is that they will need to mobilize manpower to help harvest the farmland on the outskirts.

Before, they were a little scared of this possible mission, but after Mi Xiaozhong talked about the war he had encountered and the rewards he had received, they suddenly felt that the situation was not so frightening.

After all, when they have a lord who is wise and extremely combative, many seemingly dangerous jobs are not as dangerous as they think.

What's more, Mi Xiaozhong also pointed out the direction for everyone, for those Yingzhou people, as long as they are willing to work hard in this place, they can get achievements and recognition that they have never obtained in their hometown.

He is not the only one like Mi Xiaozhong, almost every naturalized indigenous has told the people around him about his situation, and it has greatly boosted everyone's morale.

Because of their existence, these natives began to realize that this land is related to them, and they are willing to contribute their own strength to this land.

Liang En could feel that everyone's enthusiasm had improved significantly, especially the morale of the villages and towns in Yingzhou, which had worried him before, was a world of difference compared to before.

Just as everyone began to prepare for the war, the crops were finally ripe, so almost everyone except the armed forces threw themselves into the summer harvest.

In particular, the recently arrived group of more than 2,000 new immigrants were mostly engaged in work almost as soon as they completed their quarantine, but fortunately, almost all of them were farmers from the north, so they were able to adapt to the harvest work very quickly.

In addition to food crops, there are also a number of berries and nuts that are ripe, so women are mobilized to collect them and process them as long as possible.

So the whole city of Anbei was filled with the smell of grease, grain and even wine, in short, the smell of harvest permeated the whole city.

Although the land is not fertile enough and not cultivated enough, the vast area still makes this a good year, and they have received 50,000 people to feed them for two years in just one harvest.

But just as they had just finished harvesting the grain on the periphery and began to gradually harvest inward, the wolf smoke in the east and north ignited at the same time, representing the beginning of the large-scale attack of the barbarians in autumn.

"Prepare for war as planned." Liang En quickly issued his own order through the herald, "Resist in various regions, allow for flexible defense, and if you can't hold it, you will take the general reserve to reinforce it." ”
